got stuck inside apple mail

My ipad got stuck inside apple mail. I can not get out of it. I can not even power it off (by pressing the top key). But the email works, I can still view email, write email. If I hit the top key, the screen will go dark and I can use the home key to get back to email app or use the camera. I can not do anything else. Does anyone know how to solve the problem.


Thanks in advance.

Try a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
